My first book of poems

————————————————-

The Church has left the building

Have you heard?
The church has goneShe’s not hereBut somewhere down the road instead
Out of this placeLike an oyster who’s pearl has sprung legs and legged itShe is glimmering
Shyly shining
And people are squinting at the beauty
Liking what they see
She looks kind of divine
A shadow of heavenly beauty
When she goes
Out of the beige club-like dull wallsIt’s when she goesShe glows and goodness is feltShe can’t hideColourful and confident
She is being prepared as a bride
For the sake of a world
That is missing the inside hope
That affects the outside mess.
